Duplicate author page w/books

[K.R.]

This page has two of my books and my same author name but is not linked to my verified author account: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Can you add these books to my actual author account and delete the duplicate author listing?

Hi. I'm still waiting on a solution for this and my book release is coming quickly. Is there something I can do?

Done. You can avoid this problem in future by correcting the spacing in your name on Amazon.

Thanks! My goodreads author name does not have a space between my initials and I'm unable to change that without librarian status.
It should read K. R. Solberg, nit K.R. Solberg. Is that something you can help me with? I'm not sure why it's listed that way. It appears with a space everywhere else.

Goodreads policy (https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...) is to not include a space between initials. So if you can update the spacing on Amazon then you won't have import issues like this. But if you don't want to change it then Librarians will have to move the book over for you when they're auto-imported.

Amazon does not allow author names to be edited after publication and changing it in the future will create duplicate author listings there, so I guess I’ll have to make requests here going forward. When I have a first and middle initial on Amazon the space is automatic. I wish the standard was consistent between Amazon and good reads considering they are joint owned. Oh well.

Ah, good to know.

I assume Goodreads' naming policy predates when it was acquired by Amazon. Lots of annoying things like this with these sites.
